After about two hours of hiking through breathtaking scenery, we will reach the shimmering turquoise waters of Humantay Lake, at an altitude of 4,200 meters, located just below the snow-capped mountain of the same name. Take your time to stroll, relax, and breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Once you’ve soaked up the tranquility of the lake, we’ll begin a two-hour descent to the trailhead (Soraypampa).
There, we’ll board the van and head to Mollepata for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Afterward, enjoy some time to admire the views of the town.
